We used to feature more digital art and photo manipulation but we felt it was getting a bit too much of the same. Of course there's always space for beautiful artwork like the Skull Candy project shared by Lorett Foth. It was a project done in Photoshop, 3ds Max and Zbrush. The quality of the composition and details make us believe that the scene was real, especially the lighting.
This was fun project I was working on for Skull Candy. It was interesting to match the hair exactly to the preexisting photo. I used 3ds max, Hair Farm, Zbrush, Vray and Photoshop

I haven't posted about photo manipulation in a white, I have been quite focused on editorial and branding more because of the style, however I am a fan of digital illustration. I also used to love spending my weekends mixing photos to create what I wanted and that's what Ankur Patar did for Adobe Stock - Lost Masterpiece - Rembrandt. He simply recreated one of Rembrandt's masterpieces that was stolen titled "Storm on the Sea of Galilee". It's a classic Baroque piece, with that contrast of light and dark good and evil that the movement usually explored. The end result of Ankur's work is quite impressive, check it out.
Ankur is a award winning Illustrator, Creative Retoucher & Photographer. He has been into Advertising industry for the last 10 years and have loved each moment of it. For more information and to see his full profile check out https://www.behance.net/ankilien
I was commissioned by Adobe to re-create Rembrandt’s lost masterpiece “Storm on the Sea of Galilee” which was stolen in 1990 from the Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. I was tasked to make it look as close to the original as possible, entirely out of Adobe Stock photography. It was extremely challenging and one of my most difficult projects.

It's been a while since the last time I posted about some post-production and photo manipulation projects, that's the reason I wanted to share some cool projects by Post Production, an advertising agency from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I love their work with animals and the level of details of some of the compositions. It definitely makes me want to play more with Photoshop.

Ultima is a body of work that is deeply rooted in environmentalism, showing my concern for the future by depicting the ways in which mankind’s creations have an impact on the planet. Primarily it is about the modern conflict between the manmade world and the natural world, and between modern and primitive cultures.

I portray this as an epic struggle and in my work these forces clash in theatrical, post-apocalyptic battlegrounds. My goal with this project is to create striking juxtapositions between the ruins of modern civilization and a futuristic ecological utopia. The narrative progression shows a rediscovery of these remnants belonging to the conceivably forgotten past.

We have posted about Mecanique Generale in the past and after scoping their latest work I realized that it was due time for another blog post to celebrate their talent. Some projects, like Johnny Walker for example, really speak to me and inspire me to go to Photoshop and try to recreate like the good old days. Perhaps next weekend is a good time to dust off my Photoshop skills and take a crack.

Mixing analog with digital always works. Despite the advances in technology and the tools that help us to recreate and emulate diverse effects, there's nothing like using the materials to get the assets and textures you need. The branding project created for Squarespace New York by Pawel Nolbert and Karol Kolodzinski is a great example with a beautiful outcome. We're really digging the mixing of paint splatters to recreate the Squarespace logo and different assets for their brand.
The project consisted of two main parts: two static hi-res key art images, one logo-based and one abstract, operating within the same visual language, and an animation/bumper that featured the Squarespace logo.

We have been posting a lot about UI, UX and mobile design if you noticed, one of the reasons is because we believe that is a very important area of design and in particular, one that has a lot of opportunities. But as a lover of all sorts of design things today we bring an awesome digital art from Estilo3D titled Insects.The artwork is a mix of photo-manipulation, illustration and 3D.

My favorite super hero is Batman and it's because he doesn't have any super powers besides super amount of money but the idea is much more realistic than other super heros. The Dark Knight trilogy was a great example of beautiful movies without super fantastic powers. Anyway, the reason I said that is because I want to share this really cool project by Adam Spizak titled Batman - Why Do We Fall.
We featured Adam so many times here but it's always good to mention how awesome his work is and of course make sure you check out his website at http://www.spizak.com/
Is Bruce Wayne really Batman? Why Do We Fall takes the concept of ravage and the idea of being corrupted and consumed by vengeance.. Who is Bruce if not a figment of imagination,a fake mask Batman wears to hide in plain sight.Created using: ZBrush, Cinema4D, Photoshop.

Today we bring to you another great post about photo manipulation, it's a beautiful advertising piece created by Mladen Penev and Clemens Franke.

It's good to see a bit of the behind the scenes as well, like the way they took the photos, the make up and etc...

It has been quite a long time since I posted about some nice photo manipulation. I used to spend quite a long time looking for references and also practicing my skills in Photoshop and some 3D tools. Anyways, it's always good to bring back good memories and also to feature some inspiring work like the Africa | Mitsubishi by Pict Estúdio.
